When I saw the name I thought it was just really manly absinthe for men, but then I realized it was an aweful pun on his name. MANsinthe?

Absinthe was not "made legal" in the states, in certain forms it was never really "illegal." A good resource for this would be the Wormwood Society FAQ page. (www.wormwoodsociety.org) And Mansinthe is not a "US absinthe." The company that makes it, Markus Lion, is German and it is actually distilled in Switzerland. Once Manson felt that ML had created it to his taste, he introduced the "beverage" at his exhibition in Galerie Schenk in Cologne, June of 2007. The only absinthe i've heard that is currently being produced and sold in the US is called Lucid (www.drinklucid.com). It is developed by Ted Breaux, who has brought many awards to his Combier Distillery, so I doubt it will be as "crappy" as you suspect. While I have not tried it I've seen some good reviews and hope to have some in the very near future. Good luck with your research and the new job. Dear ampersandpilcrow,

Manson needs to seriously rethink his career at this point cause he's entering into dangerous Krusty the Klown territory. I thought it was a joke when first announced…but I guess not.

The grizzled old Manson on the label is probably just drinking it cuz there's no more Old Crow left in the house. I'm actually sort of pleased by this. I'd rather see an experienced Absinthe grandmaster come along and give us a proper drink. Wow, this is just getting killed across the board…and yeah, what a shit name.

I have tried a fair few different absinthes and this one is by far the worst. I can not even bare the smell of it. I feel kinda bad because my brother spent quite a bit of money on it (I live in Australia so I imagine it's more exy here). I totally agree with the sewage water comparison *shudder* Ek my brother gave me a bottle of this for my birthday as a joke.

Poorly-done melodrama. And this goes right along with that. The one thing I really can’t stand about Manson (besides his fans) is his obsession with melodrama. Poorly-done melodrama.
